TFC’s biggest game this week won't involve a single player in Greg Vanney’s talented squad. Instead, Toronto’s fate in the Voyageurs Cup will be decided by Montreal Impact and Vancouver Whitecaps, with victory for Thierry Henry’s men sending the Quebec side into the final. In an extra special 10th episode of Waking The Red Weekly, Mitchell Tierney, Michael Singh and Jeffrey P. Nesker and joined by stats GOAT Martyn Bailey to preview all the action in what proves to be a gripping tie between two teams that are both capable of surprising the opposition and getting a result against the odds. The crew discuss TFC’s recent loan signing of Liverpool FC defender Tony Gallacher, and praise the player hitting top form he’ll have to displace - Richie Laryea. And with the next phase of MLS fixtures looming, attention is turned south of the border, to TFC’s upcoming games in the US.
Rudi Schuller of DAZN Canada joins the show as the guys try to fight through technical difficulties to talk about Toronto FC's disappointing two-loss week, CanMNT games being delayed until March, Toronto FC's defensive issues and plenty more.
Social injustice in the US is rightly making the headlines - but what about inequality and discrimination closer to home as well? In this special episode of Waking the Red Weekly, Mitchell, Michael and Jeffry talk to Mike Newell and Dr. Tej Sahota from the TFC BIPOC fan coalition, about their efforts to make BMO Field a safe and welcoming space for everyone.
They discuss the issues surrounding politics and national anthems in sports - and explore the dangers of ‘slactivism’ whereby brief gestures can easily run the risk of leading to little or no real change.
Rounding up the week’s big events on the field there are shout-outs to Kadeisha Buchanan who lifted her 4th consecutive Champions League trophy for Lyon, and Jonathan Osorio who racked his 250th appearance for TFC.
And the team look ahead to tonight's game against Montreal Impact, and what could be a record-breaking 8 game winning streak for TFC.
With TFC back at BMO, and turning out impressive performances since the restart, the Waking the Red crew look back at Pablo Piatti’s seamless integration into the side, and discuss the strong performances of utility players Richie Laryea and Nick Deleon.

The gang discuss the return of Jozy Altidore and, after the Orlando heat seriously hampered TFC’s pressing style, whether Greg Vanney will continue to rotate his squad with veterans or youth.

In another knockout episode, hosts Mitchell Tierney, Michael Singh and Jeffrey P. Nesker are joined by The Athletic’s Joshua Kloke to review all the action from TFC’s final game, and to look back on what we can learn from three long weeks in Orlando.
With 17 year old Jayden Nelson handed a surprising debut, the crew asked whether the pressure of a round of 16 tie may have been too big of an ask for such a young player. And with a less than effective false nine compounded further by a lacklustre midfield, the crew questioned Greg Vanney’s lineup and tactics for the match.
Joshua Kloke argued that a sustained high press will always cause TFC problems and that even now, Vanney may not know his best starting 11. The crew agreed that Liam Fraser needs more minutes but disagreed on whether or not he’ll get them, while Patrick Mullins is also highlighted as a player with much more to offer.

The crew discussed Ayo Akinola’s standout performance - cementing his status as a natural number 9 - and how TFC’s overall attacking plan seemed lacking on the day.
While tribute is paid to Thierry Henry’s powerful Black Lives Matter statement - taking the knee for a full 8 minutes and 46 seconds at the start of Montreal’s first game of the tournament.
MLS is close - sooooo close. But with one team already dropped out and others yet to travel, there’s still plenty of drama surrounding the imminent MLS is Back Tournament in Orlando.
